the pre-quests
The 24-man one should be main story now
how do you level a blu mage, just grind mobs?
Basically. If you have a friend you can pull a bunch of higher level mobs and have your friend kill them for power leveling
Huh? What do you mean main story? I read all raids are optional
Crystal Tower raids are required now
Which raid is that?
The 8-man raid is unique for ARR. It's normal mode is savage level of difficulty so it's not really ran normally and it's not on a roulette. If you make a unsynced party in party finder and say there is a first time bonus that should get people to help out. You don't really need many level 80 players, 1 or 2 will usually do. The expansion 8-man raids have normal difficulty fights that are casual and they are commonly done
@unreal sierra As Sora said the ARR 24-man raid is ||Crystal Tower||
Ok. That wasn't listed in the raid list wiki sorry
Link?
I accidently let a duty countdown expire and now it says I have a penalty count. What is that exactly?
Are what is listed wings of ct?
Ok makes sense now.
Each alliance raid series has 3 separate...duties
when do i get an offhand thingy
i think only Paladin gets one, or someone said on here before
Yes and no
of the combat jobs only Paladin gets one, tho at early levels Conjurers also can use shields
nvm my class doesnt have it, summy xd

Soo, I have 3 inventory tabs full of mob loot. I don't have any crafting jobs, so should I vendor everything or try to sell them in the market?
What is an "Allagan Catalyst" for?
Soo, I have 3 inventory tabs full of mob loot. I don't have any crafting jobs, so should I vendor everything or try to sell them in the market?
@hazy jay if it says "shop selling price:" I would be vendor it since it's easy to get back. Otherwise put it in the retainer if you can, no harm in it
so, I just hit lvl 52 with DRG and wanted to know where do I get the next skills from?
@forest bluff You get stuck with someone who is gonna spend all your Gil on useless crap they will never use :p
wait, it shares your gil?!
@forest bluff lol no, you get a ring to teleport to your husband/wife and uhhh, a husband and wife, and depending on what wedding plan a 2-seater mount and the wedding gear
wait, it shares your gil?!
no
That's a joke
WEDDING PLAN oh boi
@signal gull job quests, but you have to reach Ishgard first
Thank you @wintry chasm that makes alot of sense! But what if it says something like shop selling price : 73 (restricted)?
when do i get to participate in the 20 player dungeons? ive only been in 4 player ones
First 24 man is level 50
That means it's from a vendor that needs to be unlocked. Usually beast tribe vendors tbh @hazy jay
@wispy parcel oh, so I just follow mq?
They're raids. Dungeons are 4 or 8 man
Got it, thanks again
@thorn mantle first ones are main story
Until you reach Ishgard yea
aight thx
you have to beat the ultimate weapon
and are there any differences between dungeons and raids
Raids are three 8 man parties
Between alliance raids and dungeons....one has more players and are shitshows
^
lol
Also longer
later alliance raids can go for almost an hour
Normal 8-man raids are pretty akin to trials
But harder
(normal difficulty not much harder but savage difficulty much harder)
so alliance raids are just longer dungeons with more ppl
I had an LOA where too many people went into one of the offshoots. Where you have to stand on the platform to let others kill bosses. So one side only had enough to stand on platform. Not to kill boss as well.
That was a pain
pretty much
@thorn mantle sure i guess
ic
alliance raids can be fairly challenging the first time they come out
trials are the boss fights right
Yes
yes
Orbonne day 1 was a shit show lmao
so are normal raids
ok
since you have more people who don't know what to do
Last note on 24-mans, they are harder than dungeons but the level 50 one is pretty lenient
Rabanastre was also very difficult to clear for a good while
https://discordapp.com/channels/635864544350306304/635864544861880342/744266393767378956 does anyone know anything about the top housing item here? looks like a nier type thing? where it comes from?
@wintry chasm thanks for your patience and answers btw
The nier raids haven't been super difficult
and then there was the wiping weeping city of mhach
@azure basalt I can't see that
let me reget the picture
I like raids, I raid in wow classic all the time, I picked up ffxiv because it's more accessible so my wife and her family and my brothers could play. Group of about 5 peeps
So I was hoping they could try a raid
New player: don't have an option to choose machinist?
I am sure CT will be easier than AQ...
@oak jolt machinist is a dlc clas
machinist is unlocked after you reach Ishgard (heavensward)
Machinest is first expansion job
What Braneric said, there is a main story requirement
there
need to do MSQ until you reach that point (you'll know when you get there)
Oh. Got the 20$ ShB. So I have to finish MSQ up to HS?
yes
Pick another class for now
at that point you'll be able to unlock machinist, which starts at level 30
Hmm. Now to pick another class in the mean time.
Machinist, Dark Knight and Astrologian all require you to reach Ishgard first
The other expansion jobs have a level requirement only
Thankfully multiclassing is hella ez since it's all on the same character
(gating new jobs behind MSQ progress is something they haven't done since Heavensward and likely they wish they could take that decision back)
Hey guys, I've just started playing and I'm a couple hours in, but I've been having trouble getting the game to run at above 20 fps? I've messed with the settings tons to no avail.
what's your hardware
Would I need to tank or heal a lot getting to Ishgaurs by grinding dungeons? Heard it's shorter queue.
make sure youre running the game on your graphics card and not your integrated graphics card
you can't level grind to ishgard
at lower level DPS do get much longer queues
its STORY locked
^
@oak jolt tank has instant queues normally, but msq will throw you through most of the 1-50 grind easily.
You can't just grind dungeons
Yea this is a heavily story based game
a lot of people will do DPS, and queue dungeons while they do story.
JRPG first MMO second
Oh. I think I meant, there wouldn't be a period where I have to grind out any levels outside the msq.
did they get rid of that 47-49 jump?
Coolp. Any hot servers or just choose randomly? Cross server play?
If you go on a preferred server you shouldn't have an issue at all
Matchmaking is across the entire data center @oak jolt
All servers on one Data Center play together
I'd pick a preferred server
(PS appreciate the quick responses.)
servers with a star next to them are preferred, which gives double xp up to lvl 70 on all jobs
Double XP gain from all sources up to level 70 and lasts 3 months
there is also cross platform play
My family are doing MSQ right now and have not had to grind. Only doing MSQ and job quests one after the other. I get them to do a leveling duty with me once every few days too.
are you on a preferred server
^^^^^
Which would be faster grinding a DPS with trusts or queuing
@remote lintel That actually fixed it! stupid integrated graphics setting. Thanks for your help!
👍
Queuing and doing fates/beast tribe I'm sure
aight cool, Im grinding my NIN that I havent touched in 2 years
for DRK materia, should i just be pumping crit as much as possible? or should i bring up direct hit as well?
@vernal urchin Did you steal my sunglasses?
perhaps
SkS to whatever you need to hit 5 GCDs in Blood Weapon or Delirium
😄
So I’m having issues with drifting on my ps4 controller and apparently the retail stores around me are sold out
So I was wondering if it’s possible to use a pro controller
for the switch?
Yeah
Ummm
yes I use it
Oh huh
So it is compatible that great
but I launch the game through steam since steam supports the controller
Ah.. I’m not on steam
continue msq?
make sure your steam controller settings have the pro controller ticked
@kind eagle you need to unlock The Twinning, Akademia Anyder and one MSQ dungeon
one unlocks with a quest in the crystarium, called something like By the Time you Read This
one unlock near Eulmore, outside on the... east side? from an ondo
and one is msq so keep at it
do you loose your fantasia if you quit mid change or cancel the changes/can you still play without changing anything and retaining the fantasia?
so im still far on getting expert
You could use the fantasia now, and never actually change your appearance until years later
if my friend creates a character on a preferred server than transfers to mine, will he keep the road to 70 buff?
i tryna get the crystarium set
He can't transfer for 90 days then @shrewd relic
its really annoying that some peope stand REALLY CLOSE to an npc i need to talk to xD
zoom in and adjust ur camera :p
hold X to hide names
Is your friend in your data center Satanic?
He won't be able to transfer until the buff runs out
it's practically the same
It's not really an option
He can't no
damn it really do be like that sometimes 💔
join his server 
i need that emoji
and i cant 😦 i made all my friends in zalera
LOL
i dont have the social skills to make more
the emoji is part of this discord
do i need nitro to use it
no
@remote lintel you saved me 60 dollars bro

I have been trying to have the discord overlay onto ffxiv with no success, any suggestions?
discord just doesnt detect the game
alrd did that
both discord and the launcher are run as admin
I've tried re install it two times
does ff14 not show up in your game activity on discord
did you add it in settings > game activity
not detected
the launcher is detected, but not game
been googling around with no solultion as well
could try #technology-discussion
aight I'll try, thanks mate
Is there any standard as to what first-timer bonus gives for what instances?
Cause I know it's 100 poetics for some stuff, but sometimes it's just gil
Where does it say preferred server?
Oh not in game?
it says it in game at the end of character creation
Heyyoo quick question is it possible to play across different data servers with the same character?
@oak jolt should be a red star looking thing on the right of the server name
no
any good guide for eureka?
Oh. Create char first.
Retainer brought back gathering/crafting materia 7&8, both +CP and GP. Any reason why you’d want CP and GP over control and craftsmanship? Sell them?
CP is extremely important as it lets you do more crafting actions
As for GP, in terms of collectables it really only matters in multiples of 200
Hey all, is Foxy Lady Fate still doable?
yes
does titan egi actually add anything to my kit? i didn't use yellow egi anyways
Are there updated resources/walkthroughs for it? All the ones I find, even the most recent 4 months ago post on Reddit is outdated :S
unless i really needed a shield
It gives you personal shielding and burst AoE
burst aoe?
But if you want damage you go Garuda for multiple targets or Ifrit for single target
A lot of AoE damage fast
isn't that blue boi?
@strange flume honestly the easiest way of doing foxy lady is joining a hunt linkshell or discord and keeping an eye out for boss fate call outs
i think they meant actually fighting the boss
Bahamut is part of your rotation, not a summon you can keep out. If you mean him
then all of those old resources are pretty much still correct. nothing about her has changed
I believe you basically need Titan for the Level 50 job quest and for pretty much everything else. Ifrit of Garuda are better
i have titan egi ifrit and summon uno
chain still requires you to do the first three and hope her window is open
Would you choose CP/GP over control/Perception?
Although you can change them back to Carbuncles
because gp and cp allow you to use more skills
Hi! I can’t see collectibles for delivery anymore after the patch, are they gone?
Can syrcus tower be done with 3 people unsynced? cause lab of ancients needed 4 people per pad and other annoying mechanics
collectables are their own section in the crafting log, they don't change
I believe you basically need Titan for the Level 50 job quest and for pretty much everything else. Ifrit of Garuda are better
@proper cipher ty
Yeah Syrcus can be done with 3
so they are no longer in the timers window
ah thank god
World of Darkness can theoretically be done with 3 but for safety purposes you want 6 for the atomos
@twilit arch so you can’t deliver them anymore for the rewards and exp?
What in Syrcus tower needs multiple people? I've only done it recently so it's basicall sped run through and probably missed like 75%of mechanics
you can, they're just specific items
I mean there was one boss fight that had platforms all around with jumpy things. But those never got used at all
look in the special recipe section for them
rofl first time titan in story, 2 teammates get thrown off cliff
quick question, how do you hide the names of things when expanding the crosshotbar
i forgot
All 24mans need atleast 1 person per alliance to enter it unsync
I don’t have any crafter leveled, I used to deliver gathered items
its not necessarily that you need those 2 other people for mechanics
@twilit arch Where or who do I contact for the hunt linkshell?
Also the spawn points for the fates seem to have changed and I'm not sure if that means Foxy Lady spawn has changed too... Which also means Namai Elder could've moved to a different place too? I'm not sure :S
gathering hasn't changed
gather timed node times with collector's glove on, and then turn them in
Ah right
The spawn points for the fates have not changed
has the frontlines bonus exp bug been fixed? 😮
nothing about foxy lady has changed
I used to be able to see them under the timers menu, I can’t see them anymore
No I'm saying, they have because Ginko and Kinko aren't in the co-ordinates that the info said they would be at
Yes because the items request are static now
so there is no reason for it to be in the timers menu
So, my friend is on free trial and just hit level 15. He can't start the rogue quest for some reason, just tells him he's not "the type". Is he not able to pick that class because he's a Lalafel, or is it because of free trial?
Oh, thanks! And I deliver them to the same person?
yes, collectable turn ins are same place
@solar surge they need to complete the level 10 class quest for their starting class
Ahh okay, thank you
not sure what you're looking at then, because as i said foxy lady has not changed
Whats the easiest dps job to play? My main is job is WAR
what is easy to you
@twilit arch
http://puu.sh/GihoW/4f6a1e7136.jpg
The red flag is where the information said that Mikuzume fate would be at. The fate that's on the map currently is the Mikuzume fate that I'm heading to right now
Namai Elder also spawns at the red flag
What are you looking at then

that's not indicating that the fate spawns there
there is alot of 8 men donjons?
" A small golden fox will spawn at a broken shrine at Yanxia 34.2 , 12.9 when the Outfoxed fate is up" is what that picture shows, its not saying that Outfoxed spawns there
raid are only 24 right?
praetorium and castrum are the only 2 dungeons that are 8 man
Hello all. I am new to the game as of 5.3. I have a question about what class to pick.
Can I be a viable samurai even if I don't plan on buying the dlc and subscription? Aka staying at lvl 60? I saw you unlock the class at lvl 50..
no
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/38050/the-master-planner Anyone know which hairstyle this is?
you need stormblood
What iLvl does two nier coins give you?
The coins let you buy crystarium augment items
weapon augment currently not included
@remote lintel I see.. Guess I am gonna go for another class. Thanks for the quick reply.
so it lets you increase crystarium from 490 to 500
@hazy heart looks like its one of the hyur midlander racial hairstyles
i think its the man bun
What server on light has a decently big french playerbase
A french friend wants to start playin
Would say moogle but thats chaos
French are mostly on "Moogle" Server on Chaos
Light is slightly more German with Shiva being the German server
Issue is we cant play together then
Is anyone having the issue where the game causes internet speed to drop?
Otherwise no server on light stands out
What world is pure English and or Dutch?
Shiva is German but i dont think any light server as a french reputation
@tawny wind Shiva is German, that is closes you get
Nothing UK based?
*I got a couple of dutch players on lich
Phoenix, Odin = Raiding
Zodiark, Lich = Community/RP
Shiva = German
Twintania = Memes
Rp = role playing?
Yeah
You can world visit any of the worlds
why make 2
So
yo can i buy this complete edition w/o applying it to avoid having to pay subscription?
You can be all Classes on one character
Just start wherever and world visit for what you want
until im 60 and want to commit
yes scrime
Everything is cross server so you only pick a server for the free company/guild
With no real downsides. Stats are all item based
Oohyeah that is a thing on this game! I forgot!
Guess I have to pick one now xD
Thanks for the help, any tips before I start?
!faq newplayertips
See primarily top half
Haha wauw
pretty brutal story, didnt expect xD
But short: read tooltips and read the active help
do msq
my menus are missing since switching to crosshotbar
everything is locked behind msq
how do i find them
you cant level grind to content
Gotcha. And I read that I can play with friends from lvl 15 right?
Press start
yes pizza
On the controller
when you unlock the other cities
MSQ is essential. Levelling is done via dungeons and quests, Not mob farming
These quest markers indicate that the quest unlocks something
ah there we go, i havent used remote in awhile
Sweet! Heading off now!
yeah do the blue quests except the ones that unlock classes
and do the first blue quest that says "leves"
the other leve quests arent important
"Leaves of [Current Location]"
When does Pupper Bunker rewards reset? Or is it a week from the time you've played it?
yo approx how often do they do these 50% off sales?
on the complete edition
or is this the first time
if i get to 70, my exp buff is gone, letssay i go lvl an alt job then, do i get it back or
90 days from character creation OR whenever your server loses preferred world status
Its 90days minimum
Longer if server stays preferred
And they should stay preferred until next patch, either 5.35 or 5.4
btw does it take long to reach the level cap?
Which job quests require flying?
is there a speed diff between mounts?
scholar and i think machinist has hw quests with flying required @crimson wind
Kk
The sds fenrir has the lv1 speed boost early but after doing story in that area its applied to all mounts
I have flying everywhere anyway, was just wondering
@remote lintel hey question, how do i change button mapping around on the pro controller?
so that my "b" is my x button
and so forth
system config > gamepad settings > button config
it wont affect your cross hotbar skills though
hello
i just managed to beat ramuh (extreme) and i got a Large Levin Orb
what is that used for?
crafted glowing weapons
ah okay
do you know which craft?
the normal blacksmith i assume?
and a housing item (lord of levin lamp)
most are blacksmith although some goldsmith. books are alc. it's a mess but can search the recipies
they are master 2 book items so if don't have that might not be able to see them
(I probably should have noticed the book part before the which job can craft and repair what part)
haha
i guess the books i can come by from the blacksmith guild?
No
@remote lintel figured out you can change crossbar hotbar buttons through calibration
In the endgame hub area of that level cap, so mor dhona, Idyllshire, rhalgars and eulmore
so now my pro controller acts like ps4 button mapping
nice
Do all the crafting classes require lv 30 to make prisms? Armorer does, but im curious about the others
Kisasushi: for master 2 have to get master 1 (with scrip i believe) and then craft 2 items which can be turned in for said master 2 book. it's nowhere near as difficult as it used to be although it's still a pain in the ass for what amounts to glamour equipment
Glamour prisms are a level 15 craft now
Except they require lv 29 material
I cleared the duty but it won't let me
@obsidian patio For armorer atleast, it needs steel rivets which is lv 29
It’s because the recipes used to be level 30
oh damn that does sound like a hassle
but the things we do for dope ass weapons XD
thanks for all that info @left moth
And they just never bothered adjusting the recipe for... reasons
So they half assed it huh lol
Good money methods pre endgame? Just adventurer in need?
Outside of the retelling
can get some of the prism mats from beast tribe vendors but that's pricy compared to getting the prisms themselves off gc vendor
well im half way to 29 for the rivets, may as well goto 30 heh
Yes
and crafting is giving me something to blow my gil on, even with how cheap the materials are lol
so
during aoe pulls
is it best to start with titan for aoe then go to blue carbuncle
Stick with sapphire, Titan only beats sapphire if the pull dies super fast
garuda/emerald carby is the aoe pet, titan/topaz is a def buff pet
er. well. if you have 2 Assault 2's, and maybe also an enkindle to burn
titan does more damage
objectively
but only for then
if something dies fast might be better to just stick with emerald/garuda unless pet can quickly get to melee range when switching targets
and really it's a matter of 'why bother, you're killing trash'
but a pack would technically have to live through two egi 2's
to do more damage than titan
How am I supposed to collect maple sap for the lvl 10 Botany quest? The closest I'm seeing is Latex. I even bought an off-hand on the off chance it'd make the 2nd & last slots visible. My Botany's lvl 12 now
You have to remember the autos and Egi assaults 1
generally if I have 2 assault 2's on stack and a pack is incoming, i'll switch to titan, burn both, maybe enkindle and wait it out, then go back to garuda
and yeah if it's just a difference between 9 seconds to kill them all vs 11 seconds...
exactly vinyl, we're saying for the value of egi assault 2 and enkindle, titan outdpses on paper but there is zero reason to have it out past then
You have to remember the autos and Egi assaults 1
@faint flare ah true.
i don't have enkindle yet
because earthen fury is a greater potency overall and mountain buster is damage up front
titan with enkindle would give 750 potency right?
@sour laurel lv 5 nodes at north shroud, or be lazy and get from O'rhoyod in old gri
a signature attack just means that it attacks with an assault 2 ability, right?
No
the nodes with Maple Sap are around x26, y27 in the north shroud
Ni
@left moth I've been farming lvl 5 Mature trees at N. Shroud
Signature atk is the enkindle ability
Thats assaults 2
for garuda it's aerial blast (upfront dps) ifrit it's a cone damage and dot, and titan is an area damage and dot
Sonarus: they should be the other lv 5 ones, not the trees http://www.garlandtools.org/db/#node/13
Enkindle is Inferno/aerial blast/whatever the sludge is calles
!action inferno
!action earthen fury
Deals earth damage with a potency of 300 to all nearby targets.
Additional Effect: Creates an area of molten earth around the caster, dealing damage to any enemies who enter
Potency: 20
Duration: 15s
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
!action aerial blast
apologies for that but there you go
ah
so enkindle double egi 2 would do more damage if the mob pack doesnt live 30s
on titan
otherwise sapphire just does more
is there a seperate discord for hunts?
of course, oculd just use sapphire for the sake of not min maxing
Yes, some are linked in #resources
it's not a huge potency difference for having to add extra complexity, right?
on trash pulls thats not a huge deal, i'd assume
Not really
Plus eventually you'll just be forgoing most of it for bahamut/phoenix cleaves
aight
Trash generally lives long enough for 1 full egi 2 from garuda then i just get the 2nd out for the last assault as dwt almost expires then cut the aoe short for bahamut
And trash dies during bahamut
What happens if you go into pvp as one class but change once youre in? Does xp then go to your changed class
Goes onto the class you qued with
xp goes to the job you entered with
Where can i buy the level 71 gathering gear/
Crystarium
doddard sells the left side, in crystarium
I’d personally suggest upgrading gear again at 75 or so
If you don’t want to deal with low gathering chance
And then probably craft/buy new tools as you can
Whats the best way to get the SB extreme weapons? Do people normaly duty finder the extreme fights or try to form a party to do them. Nearing end of ShB and havent touched extreme trials.
Or is it better to just save up and buy em
alright ill try to make some more money b4 then im broke af atm
no, extreme fights are not done thru duty finder
Is it possible to change the characteristics of a retainer once you have them?
use party finder to find groups
Yes, you can get a retainer fantasia to change them
either from the marketboard or getting lucky with quick ventures
Thank you.
Where is the Eli custom person? I can't find him in the area it says he's in
did you complete all of the side quests in the firmament
hmm maybe that's what it is
for AOE pulls, should i be bio/masma then baning before doing my egi abilities and outburst?
(level 40 fyi)
alright thank you
so a basic rotation,
miasma -> bio -> energy siphon -> egi 2 -> bane -> egi 1 -> outburst -> outburst -> egi 1 -> egi 2?
yeah that works at that level
can we no longer just buy scaeven twine/ester and other upgrade mats? i have a whole set of scaeven gear but i dont want to rebuy the augmented version ><
You now upgrade them at the calamity salvager with poetics
god loot timers need ot be cut into 1/3rd ... so annoying standing around cuz some idiot cant click 2 buttons
how do i change what class i am set to
AST shield stance still meme or good now?
you change your main weapon
@left moth That link says Maple Sap is on Lvl 5 Mature Trees. What's the other lvl 5 node you mentioned?
if you equip an axe you'll swap to Marauder, a sword for Gladiator, etc.
Do I want the equips from beginner quests, or these all games bronze pieces?
after you've unlocked them, of course
just hit lvl 50 recently, what's the best/worst daily roulettes to do? I heard MSQ one is good but long
Sonarus: the bush nodes (you have an off hand tool equipped?)
Yup. I found bushes, but only seeing flowers and shrooms so far
what class was gonna get a major rework soonish?
hmm (I'll log on and look)
monk is projected to have a rework of at least the greased lightning portion of the kit for 5.4
how that impacts the rest of the job
we are unsure
hmmhmm ;D i dont see many ninjas, does it suck?
stepped ladder is donut if fury bolted?
ninja is good as a job but not as braindead or rewarding as other melee jobs since have to remember a lot of mudras depending on level and if Kassatsu is up)
been playing summy, i like it but wanna try some melee see how that feels 😛
stepped ladder is donut if fury bolted?
@tidal yarrow yes
ninja is only really super busy during trick windows
I just discovered a hidden item. Is Maple Sap one of those too? So I harvest lvl 5 trees 'til RNG has Sap pop up?
hidden items will be labeled "hidden" if they are when they appear
@sour laurel no
Huh. So a thinner lvl 5 tree? Ty for logging on and ... logging :3
ummm serious question: how do the rabbit girls reproduce?
S*x is the rumour i heard
If it's anything like the catgirls, I imagine they're part of a harem as well
hey gamers
i mean they all girls though
Male Miqo'te were only patched in later
since they changed all poetic gear to augmented
how are you supposed to get two rings
lmao
use a crafted ring now
You can't as far as i'm aware
there are male viera, they just don't come out of the forest very often are rare @small atlas
What's the best place to grind collectables gathering for trade mentor?
@small atlas males exist. They simply exile themselves from the Viera/viis villages once they’re old enough
It was terrifying finding that Lala children are born at full height
wait WHAT
gonna need a source on that one
yeah
cue incoherent screaming
Lala's reproduce asexually by splitting of another body
...
myta: at 60 can get proto ultima accessories which is good enough item level wise. for 70 equipment i don't think it would matter (can get crafted accessory and augment that still)
for gathering collectables, just use a site like garlandtools to make a time node list and just rotate thru those @gritty oracle
no you got it wrong, lalas reproduce by headpatting popotoes and then burying them. Then in the autumn they just dig up the freshly grown lalas.
Especially in this channel of all places.
Lalafells reproduce just like any other race. And no they don’t start full size
Wait. So that was false?
They simply reach adult height sooner
lmao Sonarus
I've been had
just try to imagine what would it be like for a regular sized lala to carry another regular sized lala to full term
and then give birth to it
is a tank considered undergeared if they're wearing level 64 gear in doma castle?
||doma castle|| is like 6...8? I think like, with a very good geared healer they're gonna be fiiiiiiine
they are more likely to have a bad time but it's not the end of the world
as long as they have msq giveaways or mettle body/leg
then again undergeared tank + undergeared or barely geared healer = you're gonna have a bad time
i probably suck then
they did a big pull and i used 6 aetherflows and they still died
and was hard casting heal after
the main thing is are they rotating cds properly
I like how everyone keeps smashing fist into hand in story and theres no sound >.>
what's your own gear Mip
im wearing level 70+ gear
If they aren't, then even if they're properly geared they're going to be annoying to heal
did you sacred soil
Certain pulls in that dungeon can be too big for at-level tanks
yeah i used sacred soil
Like the colossus with anything else can go wrong very quickly if handled badly
My "undergeared tank does big pull" rota would be like, excog sacred soil whispering dawn fey illu and pray
fey illu does wonders for big pulls because it boosts your adlo big time
so many people forget about it
yeah i should have alternated between adlo/physick
i kinda panicked
it's all good
he just did smaller pulls after that and it went fine
is there a good crafter leveling guide online?
get to 20 with crafting log, then firmament
should i level them all at once?
ideally, yeah
and everytime theres a new crafter quest id go back and do it
like ignore em?
I prefer to do my crafter quests at least 5-10 levels overleveled because I'm horribly lazy and have no idea what a challenge is anymore.
but in any case do the gatherer quests first, so you have some mats stockpiled for crafter quests
you can ignore fisher, leveling it is completely independent from anything else and no crafter relies on it
think of fisher as a completely independent thing
what you'll need loads and loads of in crafter quests is titanium, aurum regis sand and adamantite ore
So I purchased a cosmetic from the mogstation, I have glamours unlocked but since the cosmetic i bought is lv1 it won't let me cast is to my current gear. Is there anyway to make this work ? Or can I only use the cosmetic if I don't plan on actually fighting things ?
I remember these three being reoccurring mats
@edgy flax Okay, so are you putting them in your glamouring dresser and making a glamour plate?
No, I'm no sure how that is done
okay, have you done the glamour quest in vesper bay?
blue quest, hard to miss
protip. do any blue quest you seethat's not a job unlock or levequest unlock"
while you're thee do the dye quest too
I can access the the glamor dresser in the inn I'm just not sure how to use it
You need glamour prisms to put them in the dresser
Same with casting glamour from your inventory
Hey guys, had a quick question as a new player, I'm playing warrior and just got inner beast. To my knowledge, the rotation is HS -> Maim -> Berserk -> Storm's Path -> HS -> Maim -> Storm's Path -> Inner Beast. I can never seem to get the last Inner Beast under the effect of Berserk, only getting 4 CDs instead of 5, any help with this ? Am I doing something wrong?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
@edgy flax
maybe your skillspeed is too low?
And make sure you're activating Berserk just before the gcd comes up
To give yourself more.time
@faint flare I'm at 224, is it worth seeking out gear while I progress through MSQ or will it just happen naturally? I don't really know what the stats do yet lol
Dont go Hit > Berserk immediately
I'm level 36
Go hit > wait until gcd is almost back > zerk > hot
@faint flare got it, I've been doing that, I guess I just need to wait until my gear is better!
You will never be able to not glamour a level 1 item onto something unless you're literally naked
Oh maybe I'm picking them in the wrong order
Can you buy a stage of the ARR relic weapon without completing it fully?
Am I supposed to pick my gear then choose the cosmetic I want it to look like ?
If that's how you want to go about it yes
But you should put them into the dresser
It uses one prism and then never again unless you take it out and want to put it back in
put gear into dresser using prisms > put individual gear pieces into a plate and save > apply plate
Alright thank you , I think I've gotnit
Got it *
Sorry for all the noob questions lol

really wanna try some alts, dunno where to start xd
Can i get these glasses for my character?
yes
Do you wanna tank, DPS, or heal?
used to play tera, played every class xD most satisfying was always stuff with good mobility for me
how do i aquire?
bard, dancer, machinist, summoner, black mage
although black mage mobility requires skill
might as well just get every job to 30 first, and then pick xd
true but then the base is done 😛
Yooo thats dope! Thank you!
Do we have official lyrics for ||To The Edge|| yet?
What level do you unlock glamour? Really tired of looking at this noob gear aha
Thank you 🙂
Hey everybody! I'm new here soooo there's that
@languid carbon not yet, they'll probably release that much later (it takes time for them to release official lyrics)
people have kind of figured out the lyrics by ear though
I want the misheard lyrics
Aww, that's a shame; I'm still trying to puzzle out whether they're saying ||as I sent them to fight another war|| or ||as I looked at the writing on the wall|| in the first verse; it's been bugging the crap out of me
after the ||"Now I'm thinking, was it worth it?"|| bit
||Now our sentence, for what its worth is
As in heaven, its writing on a wall||
though I might be understanding that bit incorrectly too
those are the speculated lyrics
interesting
you might be right on the first line though
nah, I'm listening real close and yours sound more correct; though I admit that could just be primacy effect
Wasn't there a button/hotkey to open up the collectables panel? (like the one you turn in regular collectables for)
the house of splendors is no longer on the timers menu as the requested items are now static
crafted turn ins are in their own section in the crafting log
and gathering items are still the timed node items
hmm, okay, I guess I'll just have to learn what it is now that it's static
Where can i ask people to run roul with?
Is there a way to get an invisible shield anymore? I know there was the garo event but is there any other way now?
shiva unreal itself has no rewards, all the rewards for it are tied to the faux hollows mini game
oh
yes, they added invisible shield to gold saucer @hallow hatch
Oh I thought that was taken out
the GARO shield was removed
Ohhh
Oh shouldn't that be in the market?
no
Oh
as i said, its gotten with mgp and its not tradeable
that makes sense
my friend is running a 1050 ti, and while he's above 60 fps usually, he's getting frame drops all the way down to single digits, like 3 fps kinda thing. it's happening for like 10-20 seconds every 5 or so minutes, not on a hard clock but thats the average. he's running exclusive fullscreen but it happens in borderless too. windows game mode thing is off and his power optimization settings is on performance. vsync is off and so too is the framerate limiter. he's also tried running the game in dx11 mode as well as dx9 mode, and it will happen even on lower settings and such.
anyone seen anything like this?
does not happen when he runs any other games
try reinstalling?
sure, that's on the table but in the meantime im trying to see if anyone has experienced this problem firsthand
Can you actually change classes when using DF to run content? (Like, say, getting Rhivathyn or Nidhogg as a tank and switch to DPS before the pull)
the only time you can switch jobs in an instance is frontlines
the only one i can even think of is that you can change jobs in eureka when you're at the primary aetheryte for the given map
while eureka is an instance its...an open world instance of sorts
but not when you walk out into the map
also maps
i mean it counts as being in a duty
if you're doing map portals you can swap inside
you get a status that says "in duty" that's good enough to count for me
but either way its not duty finder content
is there anyway to communicate with someone if i only have the free trial?
pretty much limited to say
ah that sucks
is +3 Control a noticeable upgrade?
my Lv35 HQ crafter gear is almost as good as the HQ Lv41
even the Lv46 pieces cap at +4 CP melds, those pieces have less slots too, so it's basically the same as the Lv35 HQ gear
is seacloth from maps?
yes
yeah thats what i thought
stats sub50 seem insignificant but every point counts then
what're some easy cool looking mounts i can get in arr
ponies if you can get a level 80 or 2 in a party with you
all the arr extreme trials have horse mounts with special effects to match tat boss
and if you get them all you get a cool kirin mount
any suggestions on what to do while waiting for DR ques to pop for leveling? I did the beast tribe pixie quest already im lvl 74
use your synthesis skill
press the 1?
yes
as you get higher in level, you'll get different skills
the basic of crafting though is you use synthesis skills to increase the progress bar, and when you hit 100% you complete the craft. Use touch skills to increase the quality bar, to try and make the item high quality, how much quality you put into the craft increase the chances of making it high quality. if you fill out the quality bar you're assured a high quality craft
that said you need to be mindful of the durability of a craft, if you hit 0 before you fill out the progress bar you will fail the craft
Hunts are usually done in parties. I recommend getting into Gathering, leveling your chocobro in fates, starting an older relic (HW is amazing), sidequesting for lore, MSQ, leveling other jobs to 15 with leves/hunting log, getting blue quests, doing GC stuff, sightseeing log, or other beast tribes.
@long vapor
Probably only if you're into wackiness or the lore
do you care about the greatest side story in the game
if yes then do it
then dont do it
it only gives you cosmetics and emotes
Cerberus yeah, I definitely recommend dwarven beast ttribe, but what does that have to do with Hildibrand?
Class quests? Ii guess
So how does rook turrent and overdrive work
If you've done 2.0 unlock (aka can fly in ARR areas) then you should be getting Ironworks gear instead
your rook autoturret uses the battery gauge resource to summon, with a minimum of 50 battery gauge needed to summon it, but more gauge increases the duration its around @tulip plover
@limpid lantern finish level 50 job quest, get coffer as reward, open coffer
Yes got it thx
@tulip plover
Basically, hot shot and the 1-2-3 combo charges battery gauge. When you use turret, It consumes all battery and turret iis stronger the more battery you expend (well, stays longer). Don't worry about overdrive tbh unless boss will be untargetable when it explodes.
at the end of its duration, it will use a finisher but rook overdrive can be used to fire that early if you know the boss is becoming untargetable
where to get lvl60 gear ?
Idyllshire
If your story is not lvl 60 yet, don't worry about it

So only just use rook autoturrent?
story requires me to go lvl60 dungeon but i dont have high enough gear ilvl
Yes, but if boss will be untargetable when it runs out, just explode it early
did you do your lvl 60 job quest?
basically until you get automaton queen, use autoturret at 100 gauge
ooooh it gave a whole gear set, didnt even notice :O
Ok so dont just do it how you do overheat and use it whenever available?
Save up some battery to make it last longer
Yeah but with overheat, I'd save heat if wildfire is gonna come up soon. Never use wildfire without overheat.
Generally save up 100 battery, but in dungeons I just save it for bosses. Guaranteed to cap out by then.
Can any black mages help me with an aetherial manipulation macro
yeah once you get queen that becomes less relevant
you would generally want to align it more with buffs
What's the lowest amount of speed to stay at 2.38 for warrior
@mental geyser what about it
I thought it's like 1518 or something but cant remember
I've tried a few and none worked. I just need a working macro to target and cast AM
a mouseover macro?
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/micon "Aetherial Manipulation" ```
TY
Also, a question of my own
Should I ignore Gauss/ricochet while overheating? I have ping issues, and if I try to expend charges not to cap out, I lose at least one overheat GCD to clip, which is probably ouch if I also have wildfire on.
Guys, I don't know how to check for free hous spots,as much as I can see, everything is in use already, is that possible?
Yep
ideally what you want is to alternate gauss/ricochet inbetween heat blasts but if you're having ping problems, i'd go with fitting the 5 gcds in over trying to fit the weaves
Getting a house is very tough usually, and now it's pretty much impossible due to auto demolish being turned off
If the spot is free, it will show on the ward before you enter
how bad is your ping?
So no houses for new players, nice
No houses for all players
There are sometimes houses with the same name, like 20 or so
- I always clip I'm guessing like 50 to 100 milliseconds if I try to weave 1.5s GCD stuff (like RDM melee combo or overheat)
Those are people abusing the system and having like 20 different service accounts with their own FCs
😦
yeah i'd go with fitting the 5 gcds
More like 50-ish
thanks for the answers
blow your loads before you go in heat
there are 54 houses of "Lucis" listed, just why
I'm sorry
Also if hot shot is about to come off CD before I would overheat, should I delay overheat to get hot shot on cd before overheating?
In ye very olden times there wasn't a cap on houses owned, and when the cap got implemented, existing people with many houses got grandfathered in
whats the purpose tof the red dots on the map?
So I unlocked the New Game + and I'm trying to go back to do the paladin quests. I used a book to skip the levels from 30+ up to 70 last expansion. However the new game+ lets me replay the gladiator quests but I can't find a way to do the paladin ones?
@long vapor points of interest
they havent added the job upgrade quests
ok
only the base class quests
alright thanks, that clears up that confusion
I have 3 dumb questions, how do I know if I can still be recruited for recruit a friend?
did you buy sub time?
sleeping is annoying when havin funn >.>
No, I only got what SE gave for free.
then you can be recruited
Which was starter edition I believe a few months back
if your sub ran out idk if you can still be recruited
I didn’t buy a sub, it came w/ free starter edition.
the 30 days free from starter edition doesn't count as buying a sub
so you can still be recruited
Says “0 days subscripted” in account
Alright, is there a place or forum where I can request a friend code, and where would I type it in?
can give you mine
I would appreciate it, do we have to be in same world?
no
no
And do I have to buy a sub first?
no
Or after?
buy a sub after you've enter the code
Okay
4ZACXD9W
log in to your mog station account
click manage service options > enter recruitment code
Says successful, now I just purchase correct?
you can buy sub time now yes
What's the ideal order to upgrade to Aesthete gear? I got white scrip tools, Facet gear and Dwarven accessories.
Are people with recruitment codes only on Reddit or can we ask here for one?
The retainer stops selling on the market
@orchid bramble you can try here
And will just hold your items and gil
They'll just be on the listing page
But won't appear on the market
Until you interact with them again
So they'll still have the items on them
Sweet... thanks @remote lintel
Would anyone be so kind as to provide this new player a recruitment code? 😉
If I knew how
Hey guys I got a question I'm sure you're all sick of hearing but given the new patch none of the resources around can apply to it anymore so here goes
I main AST and I wanna try out some dps, should I be SMN or MCH?
Do whatever you like the look of more
@orchid bramble i can only recruit 1 person every 3 hours, sorry lol
pick a DPS you enjoy, since AST is a healer you won't find a comparable class, however, if you enjoy healing as a role SMN will co-level SCH as well.
Whats the general feel of the two though? The way I understand it SMN is all about DoTs and pet management and MCH is rigid rotation?
@orchid bramble SRP8D2MK try that code
Haven't touched Mch myself but if it's anything like Bard, the rotations can be random
Mch has more freedom and flexibility on where it can Overheat
SMN is very high level and DOT focused yeah. But they're much more.
btw which classes are good for utility and dps for beginners?
monk or lancer probably
MNK has mantra which is pretty useful for healers
bard has some utility
a lot of utility*
tbh thought bard is like a Support buffer class
then i saw it uses a bow that doubles as a harp
i don think the bow doubles as a harp i think they just have a pocket harp that they whip out
You're all dps
Just have some raid buffs here and there
Even tank and healer need to dps
All except black mage, machinist and Samurai (and tanks and white mage) have some form of raid buff
There is no job that only heals / buff
